Donald Trump managed to […]

AI without ethics could prompt the downfall of mankind Well, Aggies, we’re rapidly approaching the scariest day of the year again. (I’m of course referring to Halloween and not the 2016 presidential election, although at this point the two are nearly interchangeable).

Coming from an ethnocentric, relatively sheltered bubble in my hometown, I was frankly stupefied when I attended a conference called […]

A detailed look at coming changes to our campus that will definitely not have any consequences. It’s been evident lately that there are more bodies on campus this fall than in years past. Bike circles are terrifyingly crowded, the CoHo is constantly packed and all the construction certainly has not helped alleviate the crowds. But […]

How building a community in engineering is keeping students in college, providing resources, networks UC Davis prides itself in keeping students in school, and with a 90 percent first-year and 86 percent transfer-student retention rate, it’s earned the right to be proud. One of the ways that UC Davis keeps students from dropping out is […]

Here we go! The NBA season is underway and I’m incredibly excited for what we’ve got in store. Who knows what’s going to happen this year? Will the Warriors win by an average margin of 20 or 25 points a game during the regular season? Will they take home the Larry O’Brien trophy in 17 […]

Festival endures storm, sets delayed and cancelled Treasure Island Music Festival — the brainchild of Another Planet Entertainment and Noise Pop’s collaboration— held its 10th anniversary (and very last) festival last weekend, Oct. 15 to 16. For a Bay Area festival held each October for over a decade, I really can’t help but wonder how […]
